Deputy re­gional trans­port of­fi­cer trans­ferred to Satara

Af­ter a se­ries of bu­reau­cratic reshuf­fles in the CIDCO and Navi Mum­bai Mu­nic­i­pal Cor­po­ra­tion, the deputy re­gional trans­port of­fi­cer (RTO) too has changed.

Fol­low­ing an or­der, Navi Mum­bai deputy RTO Sanjay Dhaigude has been trans­ferred to Satara. Thane RTO of­fi­cial Sanjay Dole took charge on Wed­nes­day. An emo­tional Dhaigude was given a tear­ful farewell by his staff the same evening. City au­torick­shaw union rep­re­sen­ta­tives and em­i­nent cit­i­zens were also present dur­ing the send-off pro­gramme.

“The res­i­dents of the city and auto union of­fice-bear­ers helped me in my ten­ure. I re­ceived co­op­er­a­tion from all. The work ex­pe­ri­ence here was very dif­fer­ent,” Dhaigude said, adding, “I would love to come back and work in the city if given an op­por­tu­nity in the fu­ture.”

“While we achieved a lot in our ju­ris­dic­tion, I re­gret that I was not able to take up the con­struc­tion work on the plot al­lot­ted for RTO in Nerul. The is­sue of auc­tion­ing

ve­hi­cles seized by the RTO too is pend­ing and it would have earned RTO huge rev­enue,” he said.

On tak­ing charge Dole said, “The RTO of­fice here is op­er­at­ing from rented premises and both the staff and the res­i­dents do face prob­lems. I will look into the doc­u­ments on the plot al­lot­ted to the RTO in Nerul and take it up in right earnest.
